Ariel Re To Launch Lloyd’s Syndicate 2006
Ariel Re has received approval in principle from Lloyd’s to establish Syndicate 2006, set to launch in 2026 alongside its existing Syndicate 1910.
A spokesperson said, “Ariel Re, a global reinsurance business with offices in Bermuda, London and Hong Kong, has announced it has been given ‘approval in principle’ from Lloyd’s to establish a new Syndicate, 2006.
“As a result, from 2026, Ariel Re will be separating it’s Lloyd’s business into two syndicates: existing Syndicate 1910, and the newly formed Syndicate 2006.
“Ariel Re was formed 20 years ago this year, the new syndicate number is in recognition of the fact that 2006 was the first year of business for the company.
“The new syndicate will have a balanced portfolio of Property Catastrophe; Other Property; Marine and Specialty; Cyber; and Clean Energy business [trading as Ariel Green].
“From 2026, Syndicate 1910 will only underwrite Property Catastrophe reinsurance, aligning to its ILS peer group in Bermuda, but with advantages of being a rated Lloyd’s carrier.
“Ariel Re plans to begin quoting on behalf of Syndicate 2006 on 1 December 2025, for binding effective 1 January 2026.”
“We are excited to expand our presence in the Lloyd’s market with the launch of Syndicate 2006,” said Ariel Re Managing Agency Managing Director Darren Lednor.
“Lloyd’s is fundamental to our strategy, and with this new syndicate, we are seeking to better appeal to the demands of our target capital base by offering differentiated investment products.”
“We are seeing strong interest from existing as well as potential new investors, and we expect Syndicate 2006 to be accretive to Ariel Re in 2026, and as the syndicate grows in 2027 and beyond.”
